during this last seige, put on 8 pounds in a hurry, dry mouth, would starve myself, but still get a big gut so I don't take it unless absolutely necessary, my doc says it takes two weeks to work, not with me, I haven't taken one in three years, and 50 mg knocked out both a headache and me within 45 minutes, my long terms effects besides putting on 45 pounds has been a cold nose and cold feet, high colestrol count and a super dry mouth, so this last go around, I debated whether I should pop a pill or rough it out, got off of it, lost the 8 pounds and strictly using O2 and telling myself, you can take a little pain, well I call it little, never been able to put on weight my entire life until I started this drug, use to make people angry that I could eat so much and stay trim, not with amitriptylene, on that drug, my body sucks bacteria from the air and turns it into ugly fat.
